I REMEMBER ONE YEAR MY MOM TOOK ME SCHOOL SHOPPING IT WAS ME MY BROTHER MY MOM OH MY POP AND MY LITTLE SISTER ALL HOPPED IN THE CAR, WE HEADED DOWNTOWN TO THE GALLERY MALL
MY MOM STARTED BUGGIN WITH THE CLOTHES SHE CHOSE I DIDN'T SAY NOTHING I AT FIRST I JUST TURNED UP MY NOSE
SHE SAID WHAT'S WRONG THIS SHIRT COSTS 20 DOLLARS I SAID MOM THIS SHIRT IS PLAID WITH A BUTTERFLY COLLAR
THE NEXT HALF HOUR WAS THE SAME OLD THING MY MOTHER BUYING ME CLOTHES FROM 1963
AND THEN SHE LOST HER MIND AND DID THE ULTIMATE I ASKED HER FOR ADIDAS AND SHE BOUGHT ME ZIPS
I SAID MOM WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU'LL RUIN MY REP SHE SAID YOU'RE ONLY 16 YOU DON'T HAVE A REP YET I SAID MOM LETS PUT THESE CLOTHES BACK PLEASE SHE SAID NO YOU GO TO SCHOOL TO LEARN NOT FOR A FASHION SHOW I SAID PLEASE PUT DOWN THE BELL BOTTOM BRADY BUNCH TROUSERS BUT IF YOU DON'T WANT TO I CAN LIVE WITH THAT BUT YOU'VE GOT TO PUT BACK THOSE DOUBLE KNIT REVERSIBLE SLACKS!
SHE WASN'T WITH IT EVERYTHING STAYED THE SAME INEVITABLY THE FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL CAME
I THOUGHT I COULD GET OVER I TRIED TO PLAY SICK BUT SHE SAID NOT-UH NO WAY FORGET IT
THERE WAS NOTHING I COULD DO I TRIED TO RELAX I GOT DRESSED UP IN THOSE ANCIENT ARTIFACTS
AND WHEN I WALKED IN TO SCHOOL IT WAS JUST AS I THOUGHT THE KIDS WERE CRACKING UP LAUGHING AT THE CLOTHES MOM GOT
AND THOSE WHO WEREN'T LAUGHING STILL HAD A BALL CAUSE THEY WERE POINTING AND WHISPERING AS I WALKED DOWN THE HALL
I WENT HOME AND TOLD MY MOM HOW MY DAY WENT
SHE SAID IF THEY WERE LAUGHING YOU DON'T NEED EM CAUSE THEY'RE NOT YOUR GOOD FRIENDS
FOR THE NEXT SIX HOURS I TRIED TO EXPLAIN TO MY MOM THAT I WAS GONNA HAVE TO GO THROUGH THIS ABOUT 200 MORE TIMES
SO TO YOU OTHER KIDS ALL ACROSS THE LAND
THERE'S NO NEED TO ARGUE PARENTS JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND
